D.C. Mayor Directs City Workers to Get Vaccinated or Face Testing
Mayor Muriel E. Bowser of Washington announced that all 37,000 city employees and contractors must be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus or undergo weekly testing by Sept. 19.
All employees, contractors, interns and grantees of the government of the District of Columbia will be required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Full Covid vaccination will be required for all new hires appointed to job vacancies posted on or after Aug. 14, 2021. All covered individuals have until Sept. 19 to be fully vaccinated. We will, of course, have a process for people who want to apply for exemptions, and any unvaccinated employee, even those who qualify for the medical or religious exemption, will be required to conduct a weekly Covid-19 test. We support businesses having rules for access to their buildings and their services, including masks, of course, which is a mandate in the District inside, and vaccines.
